Kelmscott, Lechlade, Oxfordshire, GL7 3HD

Bradshaws is a striking Georgian farmhouse - dating back to 1757 with C19 additions and alterations - offering an exciting opportunity to own a period gem with a wealth of character and period features.

The imposing south-facing front elevation looks out over the walled garden and far-reaching rural views beyond. Approaching the house along the garden's central pathway, the entrance hall leads to the drawing room to the right with dual aspect and an open fireplace, the dining room to the left, again with a dual aspect and an open fireplace and then through to an inner hallway to the rear.

Here, to one side, is a snug/family room with an adjacent bathroom. To the other is the spacious breakfast room/kitchen with original flagstones, floor to ceiling cupboards, pantry and oil-fired AGA. There is a secondary kitchen area providing additional means of cooking, fitted units and a sink. Beyond the kitchen is a useful utility area and boot room with cloakroom and access to the rear courtyard.

Steps from the entrance hall lead down to a small cellar area perfect for maintaining a cool even temperature for perhaps a wine store.

The main staircase rises to the first floor landing off which there are two spacious double bedrooms enjoying open views to the south. Moving down the landing there are 3 further double bedrooms and a family bathroom. From the rear landing a smaller secondary staircase leads back down to the inner hallway on the ground floor. There is also a small enclosed staircase from the first-floor leading up to the attic space.

The vendors have secured planning permission for making a number of additions and alterations to the property which include creating a large kitchen/family/dining space with doors leading directly into the main garden. Also, adding a second bathroom to the first floor and converting the main attic space into two further bedrooms and a shower-room. Planning Ref: 22/03440/HHD West Oxfordshire DC.

Outside, the gardens to Bradshaws wrap around the property on two sides. To the front is the formal lawn bordered by stone walls with two discreet openings leading into a lovely large walled garden comprising a pleasant mix of lawn, paved and sunken seating areas, espaliered trees creating walkways and established flower beds.

To the rear, a detached Bothy, currently used for additional storage, has approval under the same planning consent to be converted into a 1 bedroom annexe. And the adjacent stone shed has permission to become a home office/gym.

The gardens and house extend to about 0.5 acres.
